I am quite sure, I can provide the data to reproduce this. KMail/Akonadi claims to \
have 9000 mails in my Trash  folder. However, if I use Trojita to look at my IMAP \
account, there are only about 50 in it. It seems there's no  possibility to force \
KMail/Akonadi to reset the account and correct the number of mails.

Those ~9000 mails are old reports of my router kept in an IMAP folder in my server. \
My account in the KMail  5 setup was quite new (after the import from KMail 4 failed) \
and it was working fine. However, since I've tried  to delete those mails, the \
account is hosed. KMail will only find new mails in my inbox, when I quit it, stop  \
Akonadi and restart KMail again. Otherwise it is synchronizing forever.

My server is a Courier installation and I have still backups with that maildir on the \
server containing all these  mails. Try to delete the oldest 9.000 and I make any \
bet, your account is hosed also. I can provide this data,  the archive is about \
3.5MB.
